How to stop cats from eating rodents?

Our cat keeps eating mice and getting worms. Had him dewormed but keeps on eating them.How to stop cats from eating rodents?
Unless you're able to contain the cat indoors, where there (hopefully) isn't any mice available to kill/eat, then you cannot expect the cat to stop doing what is a natural instinct to them.How to stop cats from eating rodents?
Keep the cat inside and away from rodents.
attach a couple of bells to his collar, make sure they are very noisy and they sound with every move the cat makes. That might help and it's a simple solution. You should also get rid of the mice, YUCK! but be careful, can't poison rats without poisoning cats, you should probably send kitty on a trip or seclude him until you get rid of all the infestation.
My husband and I's cats aren't allowed to eat mice either. Only because I don't want to wake up to little guts all over the house and the people who previously owned our home, and our neighbors use a lot of mouse poisoning and I don't want my cats getting sick. What I do to make sure they don't eat them is, first off, my cats are only indoor cats, I feed them as much as they want, they are on full feed and I keep tons of mouse traps out, the decon ones where the mouse goes in and you don't see them and its an easy mess to clean up. We haven't had a problem with mice at all and the cats wont eat them.
Keep him inside.
It is the nature of the cat and rodent relationship. Why would you want to stop it? Is your cat fixed so he/she won't want to go outside so much? Stock up on good treats and de-wormer, and be glad you have a good cat!
It's natural for cats to do, it's what cats do to keep the ecology balanced. Keep worming them.
That's what cats do. Stock up on wormer and be thankful it's doing its job!
Well, first of all, you can't really stop a cat from eating rodents because its part of a cat's natural instinct. You can't expect a cat to stop what it was made to do. But, about eating mice, do you have a mouse problem? Are you feeding him enough? If you have a mouse problem then your cat is trying to help you, don't try to stop him. (unless you like mice)





One way though that you can try to stop your cat from eating too many rodents is to keep him inside for most of the time.





And, about the getting worms part, all cats get worms at least a few times during their lives. Just keep worming him. Getting worms is not really a purposeful thing.
kill the cat, just kidding, it's doing it's job, let it be what it is, a cat.
i dont think you can, if your worried about worms, there are tablets out there.. other wise its in your cats nature to eat mice.. good luck
